- The failure of Love and Glory was probably due to its late staging. Fiske's comment that it was well received seems to have no basis in fact; Fiske, English Theatre Music, 198. His inclusion of it later among Arne's commercial disasters for Drury Lane, is surely more appropriate; Fiske, English Theatre Music, 207.
